This is probably the best little “extra” that we provide for all of clients whenever we do convert psd to wordpress project. The theme options panel will allow you to control certain aspects of the theme without having to modify any theme files!

Even if your psd to wordpress conversion is simple or even if its a very complex design, including a theme options panel with every conversion, is one of the best ways we can help our clients manage the theme and increase ease-of-use.

There may be other companies out there that offer a theme options panel. Don’t be fooled! Having one or two options available to you just isn’t good enough for us. That’s why we have included some of the most important options we know clients are looking for.

Some of the key features of the Theme Options Panel we include in all of our conversions are:

• You can choose which pages you want to exclude from being shown in the navigation menu
• You have the option to display or hide the Bread Crumb Navigation above posts
• You can turn on or turn off Related Posts and set the amount of posts to show
• You can easily adjust the custom excerpts for posts, category, archive and search pages.
• Ability to adjust post thumbnail positioning, width and height
• You can adjust the alignment, width and height of the first image attached to a post
• Control the information in the footer
• Add Google Analytics
